Interesting fact
The 2 Schillings coin from the City of Wismar (German States) made of Silver is notable for its unique design. On one side, it features a portrait of King Frederick II of Denmark, who ruled from 1559 to 1588. On the other side, it depicts the coat of arms of the City of Wismar, which includes a shield with three crowns and a bishop's mitre. This design was used to symbolize the city's connection to the Danish monarchy and its status as a bishopric.
